Quebec considers banning social media for kids under 16, after Australia's strict new law.

Quebec is considering a social media ban for children under 16, following Australia's recent law imposing fines of up to $45 million on platforms that fail to prevent minors from creating accounts. Quebec's government has formed a special committee to study the issue, hearing mixed opinions on the potential ban's effectiveness and enforcement. A survey showed 71% of Quebec adults support such a ban, and the committee's report is expected by May 2025.
